Working with Dawn was amazing! I reached out for help selecting a paint color for a tricky room in…read moreour house (the kitchen). During our 2-hour consultation, Dawn not only found a color that perfectly matched our style, counters, and backsplash but also spotted opportunities to refresh the colors in the dining room and entry to bring the whole design together. Her color savvy is fantastic, and she asked great questions and listened carefully to incorporate our preferences and ideas. She left us with paint swatches for all three rooms, and the new colors look incredible. Dawn's color consultation more than exceeded our expectations, but she didn't stop there! She also suggested ways to update the kitchen and dining room lighting to be more functional and coordinated. Her after-visit email summary included links to all of the ideas she had offered, including multiple options for fixtures that were very affordable and perfect for our spaces. We love the new lighting. To top it all off, when we told Dawn about our longer-term goal of renovating our kitchen, she offered fantastic ideas for reconfiguring the space to make it more functional and appealing. She followed up with detailed recommendations in her after-visit email summary and included rough drawings to help us visualize thew space. The 2-hour consultation with Dawn was an incredible value, and we definitely want to work with her on the kitchen renovation project!

I…read morereached out to her before moving from Colorado to Illinois, and she took the time to schedule a call and clearly explain her role as an interior decorator and how she could help based on my space and preferences. Dawn provided detailed layout plans along with furniture, bedding, electronics, and artwork recommendations--all of which perfectly matched my style and lifestyle. Her guidance not only made the process easy, but it also saved me over $900. I truly got everything I asked for and more. Thank you, Dawn! I will absolutely recommend you to anyone looking for an interior decorator."

The personalized service I received from Dolores when she designed my window dressings and my…read morecustom made comforter is priceless. The respect which typifies service from Dolores begins the moment she meets you and prevails throughout her work. Dolores' talent as a designer is simply outstanding. I have told her many times that there has never been a day that I looked at my windows and did not think, "Boy, do I Iove these." And now that is also what I say about my comforter. I can not imagine going to anyone else for interior design work. Dolores is simply the best. Margarita Saleda Hyde Park/Chicago

Delores is amazing, there is so many fabulous things to say about Delores and her professionalism…read more I hired her 20 years ago to do my living room, my parent loved the work, they hired her to do their house. Then when my sister bought a house she had Delores do her home to. Its been over 20 years and when I bought another home, I call Delores to come and do my living room and dining room. She is a hoot to deal with, fun, personable and a perfectionist. If your thinking about doing your home she is the person you need to call. Also, I called JC Penny's, they were having a sale and thought let me see what they offer and how much....They were going to give me a rod with drapes and sheers for over 4K. OMG they were almost double of what Delores charged me and the quality and what I received was so much more!!!!! I have a (3) fabric cornices, drapes and sheers that are on a drawstring to open and close.... JC Penny was going to charge me a ton for static drapes, drapes that don't close.... Call Delores you will not be sorry, she is fantastic.

Natalia came out to meet with me for a consultation at my home which was very informative and I was…read moreable to see a lot of the work that her and her team have done. She was able to look at my space and give a lot of helpful advice about Reno/design/layout ideas. She explained that they do high-end, modern clean, looking designs, but they also do all other designs as well ( like my traditional looking home). They do big and small projects and continue to work with the homeowner even after the project is done. I would highly recommend!

I've been working with Natalia on designing our new rental. Yes, you heard that right, a rental!…read moreWe'll be here for about three years, but I still wanted our place to feel like home. Natalia has been incredibly helpful in guiding us through big, impactful design decisions that are practical and thoughtful, while also keeping costs reasonable since we don't want to invest too much in a rental property. I also didn't want an interior designer to fully design every detail of the place. I wanted to be involved in choosing pieces myself, but have someone I could trust to advise me on whether things would actually work in our space, and Natalia has been perfect for that. I'll text her with questions about furniture purchases, design ideas, or even quick installation decisions when our maintenance guy is here, and she always responds right away. My husband is also very picky, but he has been genuinely impressed with her advice and with how our place has come together. I know Natalia takes on much larger and more expensive projects than ours, but I have never once felt like we were wasting her time. She has always been responsive, kind, and very professional. I highly recommend Natalia to anyone looking for practical, thoughtful design guidance that respects your time and budget. We'll definitely be working with her again on our next home project whenever we move.

Laura brought several ideas to the project that not only enhanced the beauty of our bathroom and bedroom, but also ensured they were timeless additions that would increase the value of our home for years to come.

Plus, she is a perfectionist, so every finishing touch was completed with exactness.

We were in London when Martins did the rennovations on our home. We didn't know exactly what we…read morewere coming back to. We opened the door . . . and walked into paradise. We felt like we were in someone else's home. Someone who had a lot more money than us! Martins isn't just a builder, or a designer. He's an artist. When you bring someone into your home to change it forever, you have to trust that person. When Martins came by for our first free consultation (something other people had charged us for), he stayed for two hours. He wanted to get to know us, and figure out exactly what kind of home we wanted. To say he cares about his work is an understatement! Other people we looked at charged us for that first visit, came in, took measurements, were out in 30 minutes, and then provided some cookie-cutter recommendations. Besides his off-the-charts talent, he is honest, flexible, responsive and easy and fun to work with... not to mention reasonable. He even provided us with guidance and recommendations to bring the overall costs down. If you're looking to do renovations on your home, that not only are beautiful, but also unique and specific to you and your family, your search is over. Martins Buka will not only deliver, but exceed your expectations!

It was my first time using an interior designer and I couldn't be happier with the experience. She was very professional, easy to work with, flexible, and patient when we weren't ready to make a decision. She adapted our style beautifully and we love the result. I will definitely use her again in future when we're ready to redo other spaces in the house.

He suggested Sherwin Williams as his paint of choice and I couldn't be happier with the finished results. Within a week the painters had started the job and were finished in 2 1/2 days. Ken & Don (not sure of those names) always arrived on time and cleaned up when finished. I would hire this company again with no hesitation. Added note: PaintWork was also the most reasonable of the 3 quotes.

I contacted Nick through Yelp with my project and he responded quickly with some questions. I…read morewanted to remove wallpaper from the dining room and patch and paint everything. Nick stopped over to have a look and put together a quote. The price was more than fair as compared to others who quoted us, especially after he said it included all supplies and paint. After checking on his reviews here and elsewhere, we decided to hire Nick and move ahead. Nick and his team showed up at the date and time scheduled. After setting up, everyone left for other worksites except for the guy Nick had assigned to do the work here. Removing wallpaper is a miserable, messy task but he did a great job, and went around and fixed the problem areas after. Nick uses Sherwin Williams superpaint and we were really happy with the result and coverage. (Nick also has cards at the local Sherwin Williams store, which was a good sign). It was nice hiring someone local and working with Nick and his crew was totally painless. The dining room looks great and the cost was excellent. Cleanup after was thorough and we have a bit of paint left over for future touchups when needed. We will definitely be hiring Nick and his guys again when we move ahead with the other rooms.

I can't believe how remiss I have been in not writing up a review for Interiors by Maribeth!…read more Maribeth and Jovita have been an essential part in sourcing fabric for our upholstery projects over the last 3 years. Maribeth's eye for color is unmatched. The team is talented and fun to work with, and really approached our projects with enthusiasm and insight, never pushing an agenda. Our relationship began when we were looking for a particular upholstery fabric and color-way from an English fabric company that we hoped to use for a pair of heirloom chairs .... I'd refer anyone who is making big decisions about fabric to check in with Maribeth and her team first!

I cannot say enough good things about Maribeth. She's the only decorator I use & I've been in the…read morereal estate game for thirty years. Maribeth is mind boggling, actually. She really knows her craft, it's like she was born to be an interior decorator. Her ability to put design schemes together is amazing. I swear I think she knows all the paint colors and their number designation(s) by memory. One time she was explaining something to me and I said: "What do you mean?" She drew a sketch of it and it looked like a masterpiece in the Art Institute. Years ago, the rental market was 'down' and I'm a landlord. I couldn't rent out an apartment and I had at least seven showings. I said to myself, I'll call Maribeth (get the color schemes) and have the apartment repainted. I did just that, first showing after Maribeth and the new paint, the apartment rented in the FIRST showing. As a matter of fact, I will NEVER use any other interior decorator, but Maribeth.
